West Ham vs Arsenal preview
Confidence should be high in both camps heading into Saturday’s West Ham vs Arsenal contest.
The Hammers were written off heading to St James’ Park on Monday night and the writing looked on the wall as Newcastle started fast.
But weathering that early storm, West Ham ran out 2-0 winners in the and kicked clear of the relegation zone.
Arsenal also came through their midweek test with flying colours, thumping in-form Sporting 5-1 in Portugal in the Champions League.
Mikel Arteta’s side were clinical but also managed to stop the continent’s hottest property in Viktor Gyokeres, limiting him to very little.
With Man City imploding before our eyes and heading to leaders Liverpool on Sunday, Arsenal know they have to take advantage of the fact that one of their title rivals will drop points this weekend.

West Ham vs Arsenal prediction and betting tips
Lead from the front
It’s no coincidence that Arsenal’s form has greatly improved since the return of Martin Odegaard.

A Christmas card
There are a few chief protagonists when looking at the bookings market – but the bookies know that too.
So there’s not too much value in the likes of Lucas Paqueta, who has four yellow cards to his name – the most of any West Ham player.
He also has five bookings in his last eight appearances for club and country.
But looking for a bit of value, we’re backing him to catch the eye of referee first.
- Lucas Paqueta to be booked first at 7/1 – CLAIM HERE
